How Partnership Chances vary with Office Location Forum

[derekne]

Hi Everyone,

First, a disclaimer. I know I'm thinking about this very early but I just wanted to get a better lay of the land regarding how partnership chances vary with one's firm office location,(i.e HQ or satellite). I'm going to be attending CLS in the fall and want to get a job in TX. From what I've read, one has a much better chance,(comparatively), to make partner working out of a firm's main office compared to a satellite office. As someone who,(God willing), would like to make partner, should I focus my attention,(assuming sufficient grades etc...), on trying to get a SA at the main office of a larger TX based firm,(i.e V&E, BB, NRF etc...), vs other V100 firms with Satellite offices in TX? Also how would one typically bid that for OCI,(i.e if my first choice was V&E would I put that first or further down the list to play it safe?)

Again I know this is really early for me to be thinking about,(without grades and such), but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Moved to correct forum.

Also yes, this is incredibly premature (in particular you will learn all about bidding when the time comes but if you need to think about this now, go check out the last few years of CLS OCI threads).
